PSA: March Forth to XS1.SG

On March 4th, The.XS Collective marches forth to XS1.SG. We invite all our friends and supporters to march forth with us.

Let's all march forth and work together for the renaissance...

We are still very much below the radar but the support (or sometimes lack thereof) that we have received from our friends for the past years is truly appreciated. We are no rap superstars but regular people with regular lives who just happens to love the artform.

So log on to XS1.SG today, bookmark it and pay us regular visits as we will provide regular updates on our music and movement, as well as what's happening in the regional hiphop scene.

Lyrics
"AllAboutTheX"

Verse 1
We at the 57, we drop bombs like 911
Haters keep talking shit 24/7
Their mouths open, ne...ver shut like 7 Eleven
So I knock em out, turn violent cause I'm indian
I know you playing us your speakers on blast
We even got your girls saying we are the sex
Right now and onwards, I'm rolling with the best
Fuck your swag homie, now I'm all about the X

Chorus

Verse 2
We do it big homie, we do it for the regiment
Check our status quo, we be running for the president
You been sleeping too long, you better wake up
If you cant keep up, I suggest you shut the fuck up
XS what it do, I'm doing fine
Never cared about the money but I stay on my grind
Bitches and hoes aint got nothing on my flow
When I throw my X up you know what its fo

Chorus

Verse 3
Rejuvenate, we bring the level of the game up
Raise the bar of standards and now you gotta catch up
We the best, so there's nothing to brag about
Just look at how many spots got X marked
Yeah I put on all black
I wave a black flag got my brothers on my back
Ertime I put it down you know its a wrap
And now, its a BrandNewFeeling to my rap

Title: Braggin’ Rights
Artists: Azrael & Jay-One
Written by: Azrael & Jay-One
Produced by: Rauzan Rahman for BrandNewFeelinG
Recorded and mixed by: The IZA @ The.XS Lab

[Verse 1: Azrael]
Yeah it's the new era/ flag wearer/ XS flag bearer
Stay fitted I'm committed like a brand seller
Guerilla hustler/ Proving that my brand's better
XS/ I believe nobody's brand's better
I set standards/ but I ain't no trendsetter
Cause I don't ride trends/ Fuck being a trendsetter
I'm a minimalist/ Yeah I'm a simple dude
I make things my staple/ like staple food
So I don't be like: "Yo, that's so yesterday"
Cause what's yesterday made you what you are today
And what I am today is really what I am today
I don't gotta brag just go check the résumé
The portfolio is Oreo/ Cause haters wanna bite
and jack the swaggerdocio
You prolly think I'm braggin’ right?
But you know I still got my braggin’ rights...

[Chorus]
You prolly think I'm braggin’ right?
But you know I still got my braggin’ right (Right!)
And you know we got the braggin’ rights
Jay-One & Azrael got the braggin' rights
You prolly think I'm braggin right?
But you know I still got my braggin’ right (Right!)
And you know we got the braggin’ rights
XS-Dot-One got the braggin' rights

[Verse 2: Jay-One]
Talk about them braggin’ rights? I brag so right
My swag so tight that I got your sights
I flow so nice you might bite what I write
My plight? Huh, take flights to heights
And drop the dynamite so you run and hide
You ain’t rhymin’ right/ I'm the rhyming knight
With the armour of light/ that will shine the night
The reflection so bright I will shine tonight
When I floss/ I illuminate the stars
Outerspace emcees we invading mars
Containing the heat with them blazing bars
I'm the one in the hot seat setting the par
Right about now/ I think the timing's alright
I write about now so I write what's right, huh
You prolly think I'm braggin’ right?
But you know I still got my braggin’ rights...

[Chorus]

Lyrics


Verse 1

unleash the c forces, detonating in myself
i don't think this is right,the microphone shed it's last breath
and i'm at war marching through terrains indescribable
when my feet touch the ground nothing is comparable
this game is pointless... swagger jackers
fuck a hustle when a hustler plays a game he knows nothing about
and i have always showed an eye of praise, but now erase
when i set horizons ablaze
embrace, i left the pace now im lifted off the ground
its a full circle, what goes around comes around

chorus

fireeeeeeee!
burn to the ground
you're in the danjah area you know whats going down, come on
oh oh you losing your direction
hide hide looking for protection

flickering
my flame's flickering in night time when its snowing
and the cold winds are blowing
guarded by the shadows of myself when night is falling

Verse 2

I'm always on the prowl til the light of the day
when the sun goes up, the darkness in me stays
and it plays on repeat looped when i come in
get off the walls, you cant walk in the shoes that im in
i see you melt melt melt like candles waxes,
critically acclaimed but you feeding on my substance
bullet holes on my body murmurs hell no
they be saying my name, middle fingers up your hello
i left the pace now i'm lifted off the ground
its a full circle, what goes around comes around

chorus

fireeeeeeee!
burn burn burn to the ground
you're in the danjah area you know whats going down, come on
oh oh you losing your direction
hide hide looking for protection


im standing at the edge of the curb when twilight occurs
losing my desire everything is a blur
sparks start to fly from the corner of my eye
should have known everything that you said was a lie

chorus



X to daaaa!

Paranoia Remix by BlackDiscoBall feat. Influent

Download here or here

Influent from the local rap outfit X'Statix along with Harmi from the local rock band BlackDiscoBall, recorded a Rauzan-produced remix to "Paranoia", a track originally performed by BlackDiscoBall.

Title: Paranoia (Remix) (Feat. Influent)
Artists: BlackDiscoBall
Lyrics by: Harmi & Faizuli
Produced by: Rauzan Rahman & Harmi of BlackDiscoBall
Recorded & Mixed by: Rauzan Rahman @ DaOven
Song originally performed by BlackDiscoBall

[Harmi of BlackDiscoBall]
Darken skies arise the dead
Trembling in cold i lost my head
Silence's deafening my room
Chemical roses are in bloom
i'm high........(2x)

[Influent of X'Statix]
There you go/paranoid/
Thinking bout the same old thing/
Fear is taking over you/Faster than adrenaline
Insanity is threatening/asking to inflict the pain
you try to live it to the name/i kill you (paranoia)

[Harmi of BlackDiscoBall]
Vision blurred block out the worse
Pain is mine thanks to the dose
Fence this pain that have been forced
save my feelings i am lost
I'm lost.........(2x)

[Chorus]
Horror, when my sorrow
Rips me inside
Rips me in........
Follow, when your heart glows
Tell you to stop
Tells you to...........

[Influent of X'Statix]
it's like.. it's like.. it's like..
It's like an addiction/infliction
Paralyse as shit goes by
No more pain/ no more cries
All the tears/ i left behind
Crash and burn/ as i rewind
Travelling on a higher ground
Bring the noise that make no sound
make no sound make no sound
And i'm losing my faith/ fasten all my grip
Hold my hands cuz i'm falling into six feet deep
This way i kept it real/ it's not a mass appeal
With the pen and a pad/ i bring the light and facing my ordeal

[Chorus]

[Harmi of BlackDiscoBall]
When the lights dissapear/ all the emptiness inside
Will come out, haunt you down
So certainly.......
When your skin starts to crack/ and your veins all turn to black
Reach the skies, begging life
And cries in vain.......

All vocals self-recorded by each individual's studio and mixed by The IZA @ The.XS Lab

[Chorus - Drake]
It may not mean nothin to y'all
But understand nothin was done for me
So I don't plan on stoppin at all
I want this shit forever mayne, (ever mayne, ever mayne)
I'm shuttin shit down in the mall
And tellin every girl she the one for me
And I ain't even plannin to call
I want this shit forever mayne, (ever mayne, ever mayne)

[Verse 1: ShiGGa Shay]
They told me quit rapping, blowing up will never happen
Kept saying im asian now stop talking with an accent
Postman flow, nah fuck what the mail say
Cause I be runnin tracks like a train on a rail way
So fly I dont need my feet, you're played
My life so sweet haters sour like lemonade
My moniker's lava so you can call me fire [Moniker=Nickname]
Rappers hate then search for me on limewire
Talkin stationaries when they say they a ruler
Masking the bass you would've thought I was a tuba
Time is money so I dont have change for chats
Online gangstas man I call them neopets
Concrete jungle every man wants to win
Document haters and drag em into the recycle bin [Turn haters into Documents]
That ain't cologne its the smell of success
Imma succeed and put all these fake rappers to rest
Yes~

[Chorus - Drake]

[Verse 2 - Alyph Sleeq]
welcome to the magic
shit's crazy man

so i'm a magician i envision tricks and trip u off positions
i am sleeq with my diction
i am sick of my tradition
to always produce hits, but never do too much
and always exclusive, introduce you to new stuff
i'm fallin sick so mother ewek im ill, ewww
yeah mother ewek i'm still
here workin hard as ever, shakin the market
been walkin to arts house to walkin red carpets, yea
and i ain't never thought of stoppin
and my videos was somethin haters never thought they watchin
the time is clockin
though i'm a chatterbox i'm always on time like i was tick talkin
yeah
this prolly ain't my best verse
but it's actually more than what u deserve
not what the rest deserve
i got the best reserved
eat the beef quick and i'll give u some dessert
so can i have my money that u owe me
i'm wonderin, with all my cheese u ate, why u still skinny?
that's why u runnin from me, i got u paced
so please bring my cash, cause i brought a case
get it

[Chorus - Drake]

[Verse 3 - Kwyzine]
this is for those who dealt with health for stealth
clad clothes pixelated. not bathing ape-ish camou
this is for those who aren't 21. Armed. 21 Sar 21 arms salute
a fluke, some cut corners, borders, some forward
brace theyselves in race to break the brace on their leg like Forrest
flawless lest he nests in lawlessness
flick my last Philip Morris
Chuck Norris tourings in "Virgin Islands"
my bird in virgins
now deform as "Island"
It sounded wrong "no man's an island"
yet I am Pulau Tekong
this song's virus. the sinus to brown-nosed Vangoh-kindas
findin them short cuts up to keyboard members
shut em down. I'll Alt+F4 fools
Akira's before you
Ím just like an F5 key away
refresh like we can change

[Chorus - Drake]

[Verse 4 - Azrael]
Real name? Ril/ Rap flame? Grilled
Jack beats? Steal/ This beat? Kill
Bring heat? Will/ Take a seat, chill
Rap flow? Ill/ Your score? Nil
You may have all the bitches and the riches but get no respect
Every time I rhyme I'm rhymin like I'm makin my sickedest track
It really don't matter to me if my music don't ever get to the charts
But I'd be humbled to know that some of these words could end up in your heart
(in you heart) Before my soul and body depart (yeah)
I will play my part and hustle hard to hustle art
Try to look beyond the facade of every gimmick and every trend
See the game for what it really is and begin to fully comprehend
It really depends on how you Understand and how you Overstand
that nothin ever really ends yet nothin is forever, man
It's really on how you want it to be and where you really stand
Nothin last forever yet nothin ever really ends...

[Chorus - Drake]

Go West for Kanye’s Realness. Go South for Kanye’s Reputation.

(via herenoevil)

The entire world had the privilege of watching Kanye’s reputation showdown on MTV Video Music Awards 2009. Kanye West abruptly stole the microphone from country singer, Taylor Swift, during her acceptance speech for Best Female Video. He had to tell the world there and then that Beyonce was more deserving of that award for her work on “Single Ladies”.

Apparently, Kanye’s thoughts labored like a 9-month old foetus who just broke Mummy’s water and had to come out a.s.a.p. Ouch! When it comes to opinions, Kanye is a master of “Keeping It Real” but remains a young Skywalker when it comes to “Keeping It In”.

While Kanye may have previously been crowned “Hottest MC In The Game” by MTV, the aftermath of this showdown was the littering of his name on all social networking sites, crowning him as “The Douchebag”. This was reinforced with more backlash from 50 Cent, Pink, Tim McGraw and many more.

A few radio stations and also Entrepreneur/Famewhore Donald Trump hopped on the bangwagon and may have gone overboard when they decided to boycott Kanye. Kanye even had President Obama calling him a jackass.

It seems that we live in a world where brutal honesty takes precedence over diplomacy. While I do not condone pretentiousness, Ican’t help but admit that no one is ever so real.

Kanye seems to be a serial villain when it comes to dealing with the media. In the past, he had been charged for assaulting and throwing tantrums at paparazzis. Though I may not understand why Kanye West is so angsty, especially since he has Amber Rose as arm candy, it proves to be high time for anger management classes for him.

To make amends, Kanye expressed his apology in several avenues such as Tonight’s Show With Jay Leno and on his blog. He also called Taylor Swift to apologize to her personally.

It is without doubt that Kanye is one of the brightest stars in the hiphop industry today. He started out as a record producer under Jay Z’s wing and began to flourish as a mainstream conscious rapper shortly after Jay Z announced his “retirement” from his rap career. While he may not be getting popularity hits, he continues to produce good music.

To err is human, to forgive is divine. While we may not be made for divinity, he’s lucky that we have bigger problems and short attention spans. Realness is never an excuse of rudeness. That is the moral of this story.

About X'Sylum
X'Sylum is made up of Irfan Ilohshix (aka The Alien Tongue) and Elfie Prima Putra (aka Sick Boy) who are up and coming solo emcees in their own right within the SGHipHop scene.

Irfan Ilohshix is The.XS Collective’s youngest talent who has developed a refined story telling rap ability filled with descriptive mental imageries.

Elfie Prima Putra is an underated emcee who is able to adapt to any kind of music with a rhyme style that's hard to define.

X'Sylum represents an ill-minded combination of "str8 jacket" rhyming lunacy through a raw mixture of "shaolin-styled" horrorcore battle hymms and narratives intertwined with psychedelic eccentricity. The asylumic style of X'Sylum is also vividly apparent in their production style preference which ranges from backdrops of grimey-samplesque beats to trippy electronica sounds.

Title: X'zit The Entrance
Artists: X'Sylum
Written by: Irfan Ilohshix & Elfie Prima Putra

[Verse 1 - Alien Tongue]
We civilised with savages / Cannibal corpses
We eat emcees / Count dead bodies with abacus
Squeeze Einstein's head / Suck knowledge
Sip brain juice like cold beverages
Separate your head from your body structure
Hell raising needles on your face like the acupunture
The present of death around you is pungunt
Criminals in cells / Dragons and dungeons
You trapped in a pit / Where the beast are plunging
Sweeney Todd-ing emcees and served as lunch
Punchlines of a sixth sense / God's punches
Sword swinging emcees / Lyrics written in kanji
Vision of Ghandi / I see through my lenses
Blood ink / I used to wrote this sentence
Raised from the streets where the kids are senseless
If you don't like this / Exit the entrance

[Verse 2 - Sick Boy]
I script out the pages / You've been looking for ages
You fakers are fresh / My style Shaolin and Ancient
Lyrics form of martial arts or medicine
It's evident / I burned emcees while on a meditation
Better protect your neck
My style San Soo / Fool / My art / Kung-Fu you
Like Jimmy Woo
'Cos I study Wu-Tang / I'm equal to you ten
You got no logic / 'Cos I just murdered your common sense
I spit sick / Sicker than any 16 Kingdoms
On 16 bars / I master the Art from the 36 Chambers
I'm the reason for writer's block in your mental
So you jump off the building while grippin' on a pencil
And stab you in the temple
Till you couldn't handle
Outline your body where it dropped / Just like a stencil
Piercing venom in your foramen magnum
This is X'Sylum
Infesting mics in your rectum

Title: Run This Town (RMX)
Artists: Azrael Feat. Adrenalene & Bless
Lyrics: Azrael, Bless, Rihanna, Kanye West & Jay-Z
Beats: Jacked from "Run This Town (Feat. Rihanna & Kanye West)" by Jay-Z
Recorded & mixed by: The IZA @ The.XS Lab

[Intro - Adrenalene]
Feel it coming in the air
Hear the screams from everywhere
I’m addicted to thrill
It's a dangerous love affair
Can’t be scared when it goes down
Got a problem tell me now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who's gon' run this town tonight?
Who's gon' run this town tonite?
We gon' run this town

[Verse 1 - Azrael]
We are/ yeah I said it/ We are
One Regiment/ so I'ma pledge my allegiance
Get my fatigues on/ All black anything
You can never see us coz we black out everything
As One La Familia so try to get familiar
Coz we under the radar with the mic paraphernalia
I stay simple but you feel the depth
You burn bridges while I bridge the gap
The element of elegance got no comparison
The iLLchemist and I'm mixin' up the medicine
The reverend/ so I'ma run coz I'm The Emcee
Explodin' mic bombs like T-N-T

[Chorus - Adrenalene]
Life's a game but it's not fair
I break the rules so I don't care
So I keep doin' my own thing
Walkin' tall against the rain
Victory's within the mile
Almost there, don't give up now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who's gonna run this town tonight?

[Verse 2 - Azrael]
We rep the X and we runnin Singapura
Recitin every rap verse like a Sura
A symbolist so I don't really have a face
I just mark the emblem of X up in ya place
One day it's farewell to the game like "bye bye"
We hustle hard like it's straight do or die
Coz everything we do is straight D-I-Y
Notice how I always say "we" and not "I"
Whatever the outcome know that I try
And that's the reason why sometimes I cry
They keep askin' "Who runnin this town?"
But I won't answer that, just ask around...

[Chorus]

[Verse 3 - Bless]
We are/ Pardon me/ I am/ One man/
So I'ma pledge my allegiance to no man/
But one mic/ My stand/ Both feet/ On my land/
Go west/ For Kanye/ Down here/ I'm the man/
Old school/ New Gen/ November Child/
Da Pham/ 88, G.O.D, 65/ all fams/ SG/
Born and bred/ Red and white/ From the start/
And I'm XS/ Yeah, where it matters/ In the heart/
And X'sylum too/ Bedsty/ All the crews/ Spoken/
Unspoken too/ We're one whole/ Never two/
Me?/ Just "a lion" man/ Solitary/ No crew/
But change that to we/ Then that's a whole "Pride" to you/
See it's crazy to hustle on for no dough/
No returns, no prospect, that's no joke/
But we keep rocking on even if there's no hope/
Coz as long as it's Hiphop, man, we're not broke/
And that's the everyday scene here in Lion City/
Mass quantity with quality and low currency/
But OD'ed with passion/ Direction is flight/
For all here/ It's never for fun man/ It's for life/
Yeah it's Freakin' A and Jack B back to get down/
Grade A, local brand, emcees in foreign sound/
And they keep asking, "Who running this town?"
Well if they don't know bro/ Well they do now/
God Bless...
